Origins

BUTV was established in 1984 by COM freshman Staffan Sandberg.[1] Though students produced content under the BUTV umbrella for two decades, Boston University had no formal distribution platform. According to butv10 faculty advisor Christophor Cavalieri, once the campus was wired for cable, the plan for a student-run television station was initiated in September 2005.[2] The name BUTV10 was announced in November 2005,[3] and the channel premiered on February 22, 2006.[2] The student production group was also renamed Growling Dog Productions, as BU's mascot is Rhett the Boston Terrier.[3] The network's production facilities and administrative departments are based at the College of Communication.[2] [4] Membership is open to any BU student.[2] [4]
